Great haunting story. This time it isn't just the house that's haunted and the ghosts are far from harmless.

That ending though. I can imagine the look on Kyle's face.

Oh my god that was so good, I just got finished reading it and I literally have goosebumps over it. The whole thing from start to finish was excellent.

I loved all of the main characters of the story, they each added value and I found them all really likeable and easy to connect with - which really helped with the story because it means you were rooting for them!

And the story itself was out of this world, I've never read anything like it. I really enjoyed the themes of possession, haunted houses, séances, it just had everything it needed to make a really different, yet interesting and super wild plot.

I also felt that the writing played a huge part in my enjoyment, the author wrote so hauntingly that I couldn't help but feel fear and unease throughout the whole book.

The atmosphere was just crazy!!!

And whilst entertaining isn't necessarily the word I would use to describe this book, I certainly enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a scary read. 

An easy 5 star rating for me.
